"Growing up in this bewildering environment made me question authority even more. Sometimes I would stare at the nuns at school and ask myself, Why are you dressed like this? What do you have that makes you spiritually closer to God than me? How do you know what God wants from you? What kind of mother would you have been? I needed answers to my questions. I needed to know there was a way to reach closeness to God without having to become like them. I needed freedom to talk to God directly. I needed truth."
After meeting her future husband, a Persian Jew, they both continued on their quest to find their roots. Along the way, she picked up her husband's family's Persian cuisine, which lead her on a path to being a sensational cookbook author.

Yogurt with Spinach and Mint
Borani Esfanaaj by Reyna Simnegar
This is my favorite dairy Persian dish! It is just so easy to make for Shavuot and so delicious! I feel so healthy when I eat this dish. It is obviously a lot more convenient to make if you already have frozen spinach in the freezer! Spinach can be hard to clean and check for insect infestation, so make sure to get the kosher frozen kind, such as Bodek brand.
Kosher recipe ingredients:
- 2 cups onions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 (16-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and drained
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
Directions for this kosher recipe:
1. In a small saucepan, fry onions, turmeric, and garlic in oil until slightly golden (about 10 minutes).
2. Add spinach, salt, and pepper and cook for additonal 5 minutes, mixing well. Set aside to cool.
3. Once cooled, add the yogurt and mix well.
4. Serve in a bowl and decorate with fresh or dried mint. This dish is absolutely delicious accompanied by lavash bread , healthy crackers, or pita chips.

I'm officially going through my quarter life crisis. I've threatened many times, but I finally did it. I let Jane cut my hair shorter, give me bangs, and dye it black, and she did an amazing job. Now I look like a 14-year-old emo kid, but I feel so much more "like me" without the blonde hair. I mean, I was never a cheerleader, I don't tend to be vapid, and I never took an active interest in boys or fashion. Not that that's true of all blondes, but I didn't like that some made those generalizations about me just due to my hair coloring. The only down side is that now I look nothing like my ID, and I have a hard enough time getting into bars as it is. Here's a picture so you can tell me what you think. Be honest. Just remember, I know where you live...
In other life news, we're moving back to the Gayborhood! I'm more excited than a fat kid in a candy store, mostly because I can walk to Whole Foods again. I also happen to be conveniently located a block from my favorite sex toy shop, which could prove very dangerous to my bank account. What can I say? I take pride in my collection. Ok, that was definitely a little TMI, but if you've been reading my blog for a while, I'm sure you're used to it. So get over it ;)
This week's recipe was spurred by an interesting reason. When I was visiting Louisiana, I found all these crazy flavors of grits that they don't sell west of the Mississippi. I was so excited to see grits again, that I bought about 10 boxes. I had to buy an extra suitcase just to return them safely to Los Angeles. The only vegan one was the Original Flavor, so, luckily for y'all (like the southern throw-back?), I can provide you with this lovely recipe.
Enjoy this one, folks. And remember to wear purple today in memory of those who have taken their own lives just because they were gay or lesbian. It would mean a lot to me.

Last night, my Justin Bieber virginity was broken. That's right. I, for the first time, not only heard one of his songs, but saw one of his music videos. I can't say I particularly liked the song, but I did make one observation that I wanted to share: I believe Justin Bieber strongly resembles a butch teenage lesbian. Not that I'm attracted to Justin in any way, shape or form, but he would make one sexy dyke given a small boob job. Maybe one day he'll be featured on one of my favorite websites, Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians.
On a separate note, I think maybe I've been ingesting too many soy products as my doctor told me my estrogen levels are through the roof fight now. No shock that I'm gay, but tests usually show me to have higher testosterone. The results have been nothing short of hilarious. Not only have there been some physical amplifications that I'm quite pleased with, but I actually caught myself crying to Tegan and Sara after eating 7 mini chocolate bars. Hopefully my body remedies this on it's own soon, because I refuse to live 24/7/365 PMS-ing like when I bawl to the Indigo Girls for hours just before "that time" of the month rolls around.
Hormonal fluctuations aside, I've been very busy ladies promoting a lesbian night, MaNiC, that I wrote about last week. Our kick-off event was nothing short of successful, and this week will be even better. If you're a girl who likes girls and lives in the Los Angeles area, come check it out. This week's theme is "Anonymous Numbers Night" where you'll have the chance to anonymously describe a girl you think is cute, then write your number next to the description and drop the note in a fish bowl. The numbers will be doled out after midnight, and being the little Yente that I am, the organizers are hoping to create some happy couples. Special shout-out to my homeslice QuarryGirl for doing a post to help us promote.
Have a great week!

Ahh, it's good to be home. I just returned from a week-long trip to my wife's home town of Sulphur, Louisiana aka Vegan Hater, Louisiana. I'm just lucky there's a Pizza Hut with a salad bar, or I quite possibly would have starved to death. Stomach pangs aside, I love visiting small towns. It takes me back to my roots. There's something about downing coffee at The Waffle House at 2am that brings back fond memories of post-mushroom trips and drunken teenage revelry.
On one particular trip to The Waffle House around my 18th birthday, I was so shit-face wasted that I accidentally bit a gigantic chunk of my mouth off instead of my waffle, and blood started gushing EVERYWHERE. My best friend starts to panic, and of course my drunk ass just starts laughing and screaming "Emergency! Emergency! Party Foul!". My little sister, only 15 at the time, happened to be with us at the time, so we quickly dropped her off and headed for the hospital. Instead of actually checking into the hospital and going through triage, I just burst through the doors to the ER when a nurse walks out, run up to a doctor, and hold out my profusely bleeding lip.
I think the doctor could obviously smell the alcohol on my breath, and having sympathy for my very underage stupidity, he rolled his eyes, handed me some gauze and said "Apply pressure. It'll heal". And you know what? He was right. It did.
Anyway, I'm way off topic here. Now that we're back in LA, the wife and I are very busy bees. First things first...
All my fellow lesbians in Los Angeles: Jane and I have started a new girls night called "MaNiC" at Skinny's Lounge in the NoHo Arts District. Even if you're not gay, there's an excellent reason to attend because part of the proceeds are being donated to the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. And did I mention 2 for 1 drinks until 11pm for all the ladies out there? Come on. How can you beat that.
Our Grand Opening is next Thursday, October 7th at 10pm. You can visit the website for more information here:

Oh yes. One last thing. If you haven't "Liked" my upcoming book "Veganize This!" on Facebook yet, help a bitch out by clicking the "Like" button in the right sidebar. Unless you really don't "Like" me. Then we have some serious talking to do.
Have a great week!

STRIKE ! More money for them, but Clients see little access to justice for legal aid hand-outs. LET'S not kid ourselves about the motives for recent strikes & protests by the Scottish legal profession against plans to cut Scotland's ONE HUNDRED & SIXTY MILLION POUND legal aid budget, the highest legal aid budget in the entire European Union. This strike, and the protests outside the Scottish Parliament by cohorts of Scots lawyers carrying banners crying for "justice" is purely about more money for solicitors & law firms and has little to do with the profession's call access to justice for Scots who may, rightly, or even wrongly, find themselves at the sharp end of the justice system for deeds they may or may not have committed.
The strike certainly has nothing to do with Scots access to justice for civil legal aid, because in a week of listening to solicitors bleat like sheep about the rights of accused criminals to be funded on the legal aid purse, (and for those same solicitors to be entitled to collect more than £500 per hour), not one member of the legal profession has come forward to argue for increased attention to civil legal aid, particularly in cases where the legal profession's own regulators have done the dirty on members of the public.
Yes, it's all about easy pickings for the legal profession, rather than helping Scots out of complicated legal difficulties created not by their own doing, rather their reliance on the professions who claim to have their clients best interests at heart …
The fuss, as great as it appears to be, is all about our Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill's idea to force solicitors to collect legal aid contributions from clients accused of criminal offences.
Solicitors argue they should not become the Scottish Legal Aid Board's debt collectors, while the Justice Secretary argues it is not cost effective for SLAB to collect these same contributions from clients (yet it appears to be cost effective for SLAB's senior staff to fly around on international airlines apparently learning nothing about how legal aid is done in the rest of the world)
Perhaps what is really at stake is some of the nasty habits solicitors and certain advocates have developed, such as in some cases, well known to journalists & the Scottish Legal Aid Board where some of Scotland's supposedly esteemed legal professionals regularly ask their clients for cash bungs to continue to defend them on criminal charges. Clearly, clients may end up asking why they have to make a cash contribution to SLAB as well as their solicitor if justice is really being served …
Of course, with the headlines of legal aid fraud, and solicitors walking away with millions of pounds of legal aid money even after being accused by SLAB of making dodgy claims, it would be reasonable for anyone to ask "Is MacAskill's plan for lawyers to collect our money safe ?" Well, put it this way, his plan is about as safe as allowing gangsters & loan sharks to collect for the Red Cross.
Predictably, several strikes & protests on, Mr MacAskill is being forced back to the negotiating table with the legal profession and, as has happened before in previous cases where solicitors have threatened to strike such as in 2008 he will give in and the legal profession will continue to enjoy its £160 Million state subsidy for the time being. Times are tough, the legal profession must survive, axe nurses first, but don't axe your lawyers they say …. yet the important questions, such as whether an independent Scotland can afford its legal aid budget, and why legal aid fraudsters in the legal profession are never prosecuted … are never answered …
Time for a new Justice Secretary, anyone ? Surely after five years of disasters in the justice system, from World's End to the continuing Lockerbie cover up to the review of the review of the review of Lord Gill's condemnation of the Scottish Justice system in his 2009 Civil Courts Review and recent allegations of "Institutional Corruption" at Scotland's Crown Office is well enough to require a new, firm pair of hands on the broken bottle that is our Scottish justice system ?
Scots Legal Aid 'a £161Million public subsidy for legal profession' as EU report reveals judges salaries & lawyers legal aid claims come before public's access to justice
EU report reveals Scots justice is more about lawyers & judges making money than delivering justice. A REPORT published by the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice and featured in an article in Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper has revealed Scottish lawyers take tens of millions of pounds more in publicly funded legal aid representing the Scots population of just over five million people than lawyers working Italy, which has a population of sixty million, twelve times greater than that of Scotland.
The figures show that Scots lawyers 'earned' around ONE HUNDRED & SIXTY MILLION POUNDS of legal aid in 2010 while their Italian counterparts working for a much larger client base only took £100million, making the Scots legal aid bill, running at a cost of £31 a head, the most expensive in Europe in terms of population. The grim figures show that Scots legal aid is working out at a cost of £31 a head, with little in the way of access to justice to show for it.
The report, available on the EU website HERE (pdf) or online here : The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice Report on Evaluation of European Judicial Systems also reveals Scots judges are paid the highest in Europe with Scottish Sheriffs taking home an average taxpayer funded salary of a staggering £120,000, while others on Scotland's judicial benches take up to £200,000 a year plus expenses.
The Sunday Mail article reported on the EU study which exposed Scotland's justice system as the costliest in the entire European Union :
SCOTTISH JUSTICE IN THE DOCK : Scotland's lawyers earn more from Legal Aid than whole of Italy, shock report reveals
By Russell Findlay Sunday Mail 30 September 2012
THE European Commission report reveals that Legal Aid in Scotland cost 203million euros (£161million) in 2010 - more than in Italy, which has a population of 61million.
SCOTS lawyers collected more taxpayers' cash for Legal Aid than their counterparts in Italy – a country 12 times the size.
A European Commission report reveals that Legal Aid in Scotland cost 203million euros (£161million) in 2010 – around 39 euros, or £31, for every one of our 5.2million people.
Lawyers in Italy, which has a population of 61million, got just £100million of public cash – £1.50 per person.
The 450-page Brussels report also found that Denmark, with 5.6million people, paid its lawyers only 88million euros (£70million).
And in Belgium – population 10.9million – legal aid cost 75million euros (£59million).
The revelations, in a 450-page report by the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice – came as the Scottish Legal Aid Board banned three lawyers from claiming cash for criminal cases.
We can reveal that Gerard Tierney, Massimo D'Alvito and Andrew Brophy, of Blantyre, Lanarkshire, breached the board's code of practice. Tierney and D'Alvito have been reported to the Crown Office, who will decide whether to prosecute.
The ban also extends to Tierney's firm G Tierney & Co, of Auchinleck, Ayrshire, who have raked in £610,500 in Legal Aid over three years, and Edinburgh firm Massimo D'Alvito Defence Lawyers.
The European report looked at 47 criminal justice systems across the continent.
It found the cost per person of Legal Aid in Scotland was third-highest – behind only Northern Ireland and England and Wales. The cost per person was 53.5 euros in Northern Ireland and 45.7 euros in England and Wales.
The findings led to calls for a radical overhaul of Legal Aid.
Central Ayrshire Labour MP Brian Donohoe said: "It seems major organised criminals and terror suspects qualify for unlimited Legal Aid, yet I have constituents who don't get a penny simply because they have a few thousand pounds of savings.
"The system in Scotland and the rest of the UK is out of control."
Legal blogger Peter Cherbi added: "Legal Aid is no longer about access to justice for the poor, but a state subsidy for the legal profession – and one they don't seem keen on talking about."
The Sunday Mail has exposed a series of rogue lawyers banned from claiming Legal Aid. But none of the 14 reported to prosecutors was put in the dock, prompting claims that Scotland's legal self-regulation system protects lawyers.
Kilmarnock solicitor Niels Lockhart, who took £600,000 in Legal Aid in just two years, was found to have made "unnecessary and excessive" claims. The Legal Aid board withdrew their complaint to the Law Society after he agreed to stop claiming.
Reacting to the Brussels report, the Scottish Legal Aid Board said: "Across Europe, there are substantial differences between judicial systems and very different approaches to the provision of legal aid and its cost.
"The Scottish system is highly regarded internationally for the efforts made to ensure access to justice.
"The Scottish Government's budget allocation for the Legal Aid Fund has reduced significantly in 2011-12 and is planned to reduce further in future years."
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill hopes to cut the Legal Aid bill by making criminals pay some of their costs. The planned move, outlined in a Holyrood Bill, could save taxpayers around £3.9million.
• The Euro study showed that Scotland disciplined a tiny number of lawyers compared to countries of similar size.
Just three were struck off and 13 reprimanded in Scotland in 2010.
Denmark, with a similar population, took action against 309 lawyers, with six struck off and 145 fined. And in Finland, also close in size, 99 rogue solicitors were sanctioned.
Critics blame the Law Society of Scotland's dual role of representing lawyers while also acting as regulator.
• A large proportion of alleged criminals reported to prosecutors in Scotland are not being put in the dock.
Of 265,830 cases sent to the Crown Office, only 41.7 per cent were brought to court. In England and Wales, 90.6 per cent of all cases resulted in court action.
The difference is thought to be partly due to Scotland's recent introduction of spot fines and fiscal fines for what the authorities insist are more minor offences.
Critics claim such fines lead to a secret justice system.
• The report reveals that Scotland's sheriffs top the European pay league.
Researchers compared the wages of lower court judges across Europe.
Our sheriffs, with an average salary of 150,106 euros (£120,000), were number one, ahead of the Irish and Swiss.
Next were sheriffs' counterparts in England and Wales, who were paid 120,998 euros (£95,000).
Not only were sheriffs the highest-paid, they also topped the table comparing their earnings to the national average. They earned 5.2 times the average Scot's wage.

Google's next upgrade to the Android operating system is clearly set to drop in the near future, and a little more information on it has leaked out.
Apparently users will be able to set their phone to automatically upgrade applications in the background, which constant Android users will know is something that's been missing for a while.
The new Android 2.2 (or Froyo to its friends) will presumably give the users to only auto-update the applications they trust, as otherwise it could be a simple Trojan horse for evil developers to destroy your precious phone.
I dub thee Frozen Yogurt
Apart from the naming process, Google has stayed very tight-lipped on the forthcoming release of Android 2.2, as it seeks to keep its powder dry ahead of the final unveiling.
But analytics data has shown that devices are testing the new OS update, which means it's clearly up and running in the darkest dev offices of Google HQ.
We're hoping to hear more on 19 May, when Google chats at the I/O event - until then we'll have to stay speculating on what Froyo will bring us.

Tested on one of America's most notorious routes, Race Face's Podium Gloves are considerably tougher than your average MTB gloves.
If you aim for the podium in every race, you need something tough on your hands that are ready for the very gnarliest trails in the world. The Podium Glove from Race Face have been tested on North Vancouver's "Shore", known as one of the most notorious routes in North America. As a result, everything in the gloves is prepared for routes that want to knock you about.

May 22nd was the last day of school/work for me. The picture is of two of my favorite kids ever! They are moving on to High School next year and I will miss them TONS! It was all I could do to not bawl my eyes out all day. For those of you who don't know I work in an autistic classroom. These boys both had really fun fixations; Disney and Nascar.

What to eat in Kuantan: Have you heard of/had "ikan Kerai"?
>> Sunday, May 29, 2016
It was a fruitful, educational & fun weekend for me *yay!!* It's prayers answered as I was wondering what's there to look forward each week for people who live in Kuantan & it's been quite a challenge for me to get 'readjusted' to the lifestyle here.
One of my colleagues came over to Kuantan for a weekend getaway with her family & she introduced me to "ikan Kerai", what she comments as a really delicious fish that I HAVE TO try!
Ikan Kerai
This fish is an 'exotic' river fish, apparently available only in Sungai Pahang (Pahang rivers). My colleague actually traveled to Kuantan for this fish & each time she comes here for a family holiday (once every quarter just because they love east coast food! *oh my my*), she's sure to pop by for her dose of ikan Kerai.
One of the very few places that you can find ikan Kerai is at Akob Patin House 3, opposite East Coast Mall, on the same side of the row with Zenith Hotel. The restaurant sells Malay-style mixed rice, featuring their river ikan Patin/catfish cooked in various styles like in 'tempoyak' (fermented durian) & lemak-buah (fruity-milky gravy) among the many styles.
As we're here mainly for their ikan Kerai, I didn't bother with taking the ikan Patin, but I just had to take my favorite ikan Keli (also a type of catfish) & "pucuk manis masak lemak" (sweet leaf shoots cooked in coconut milk).
Deep-Fried Ikan Keli + Pucuk Manis Masak Lemak
I like this fish cos there's very few small bones & the flesh is sweet.
Ikan Kerai
I've no clue what's the English name for ikan Kerai. It's an interesting tasting fish & it's to no surprise that it left my colleague such a great impression that she would want to have this each time she visits Kuantan. Mind you, it's an expensive fish! I was told by the uncle who works here (not sure if he's the boss), that this fish doesn't come by that easily. It's not easy to catch such a big fish & what more this type of fish. A fish around this size costs around RM160.00! *eek!!*
It's best eaten with the sweet-salty-spicy dip
The flesh is almost transparent-white, sweet, has the "river-fish taste" & it actually 'melts in your mouth'! It's not a flaky fish nor is it a fatty fish...words just can't accurately describe how the actual texture feels. The skin was perfectly deep-fried & deliciously crispy *yum yum* The major down-side for me is that the fish has LOADS of small bones!
What an interesting discovery for me *yay!* I'll be sharing more discoveries that I experienced this very weekend in the next post or two, so stay tuned! :D

Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder 184.108.40.206 is Released And Available For Download
Visual Similarity Duplicate Image Finder is an innovative tool that can recognize similar photos even if they are stored in different file format. It can compare a jpg and a RAW file for example – something that a standard duplicate file finder can not do.
This new release provides mainly fixes related to command line usage and Corporate version, but it provides also a handy new feature related to the move operation.
As many of our customers asked for this we have made the feature "Keep folder structure" while moving files optional. Previous versions of VSDIF was recreating the source folder structure in the target location. This is handy as you can:
- Restore files back to the original places easily
- There could be files with duplicate names that will be overwritten if moved to the same location
The new feature takes care of the second issue. If there are two or more files with the same name they will be renamed in the new location and this will be denoted in the move log. For example if there are multiple files named MyPicture.jpg they will be saved with the names MyPicture (1).jpg, MyPicture (2).jpg and so on in the target location.
Though move is necessary in certain cases we strongly recommend deleting the files to the Recycle Bin or moving them to a folder by keeping the folder structure which is the default behavior. Once you are sure that you have moved/deleted the proper files your can permanently remove them by emptying the Recycle Bin or by removing them from the folder where they were moved.
In case of an error the Recycle Bin provides a restore option that will restore the files to their original locations. Same can be done if the folder structure is preserved and files are moved – just copying the contents of the folder to the root of the corresponding drive will restore everything back to its original state.

Well, it's time to fix another body part. It's like I'm in a "Surgery-of-the-Year" club. The dues are pretty high, but what can I do? I need functioning joints if I can get 'em.
This year, it's my left shoulder. I didn't injure it, but due to my "loose ligaments" and arthritis, I tore the supraspinatus muscle, which is part of the rotator cuff, as well as the biceps tendon a few years ago. I was able to rehab with physical therapy and chiropractic (see "It's All One Big Huge Freaking Circle"), but then in April, I mowed my lawn and made a mediocre problem a bigger problem. I literally tore the crap out of that supraspinatus.
Every night I sleep against a pillow fortress (BF calls it The Great Wall of China) which elevates my arm enough so I can sleep with minimal pain. However, the last few months I've been awake most nights at 3 a.m. with a burn in my shoulder so hot I could supply enough energy to keep my town in electricity for a week. (This, in addition to hot flashes, makes my nights really interesting.) I get up and take 2-4 Advil with a glass of soy milk or a piece of cheese because if I don't, the Advil will eat my gut. Too bad NSAIDs aren't a weight-loss aid…
In addition to the muscle/tendon tears, I found out today that my biceps tendon is not where it should be and needs to be "moved back into place." Hmmm… Sounds like fun. Doc will also clean out the arthritis. Afterwards, he'll stitch and patch me up, put me in a sling, and send me home where I won't be able to shower or wear a bra for at least a week. Can't wait. And I wasn't even a bad girl this year! Santa better treat me well…LOL
Oh, I kid you. It's not all that bad. It could be a lot worse, I know that. And I could also choose to drown my sorrows in food, which, for a moment, I thought about doing.
As I posted on Lynn's Weigh on Facebook: "I saw my orthopedic surgeon today and I admit, my first thought after getting into my car after the appointment was, 'I want to eat.' Granted, I was hungry, but I wanted to eat something to console myself. I thought about it and was grateful that I recognized this feeling and met it head on. It didn't stop me from getting vegetarian dolmades at my favorite Greek restaurant, but I understood why I wanted them. And not only are they awesome comfort food, they're not horrible for me, either :)"
I took my dolmades and a Greek salad over to my daughter's house, where she and the g-babies were eating lunch at the dining room table. I sat down next to Claire and opened the Styrofoam container of dolmades. We all chatted while they ate their chili and I my pieces of grape leaf heaven. Then I opened the container of Greek salad: lettuce, feta, red onions, tomatoes, olives and peperoncini.
"I done, Mama," said Luca and he got down from his chair. I thought he was going to go play, but as I talked to Cassie, the little munchkin crawled under the table, climbed up on to my lap, grabbed a piece of lettuce and ate it. "Mmmm…" he said.
Anyway, my salad was gone and they were still hungry, so Claire went to the fridge and dug out a bag of spinach and dumped a bunch into the Styrofoam container so she and Luca could continue to graze. It was wild watching them eat lettuce and spinach, leaf by leaf. When they were done, Luca was covered in dressing and very, very happy. Claire was a little more neat, but she still had olive-oil hands, and after she washed them, proceeded to dry her hands on my jeans, laughing so hard she almost peed herself. Who knew Greek salad could get you so high?
I did! That's why it, and the dolmades, were my go-to food when I got the shoulder low-down from Doc today. Comfort food – when used in moderation, and particularly when it's shared with people we love (Thanksgiving and mashed potatoes, anyone?) – is OK. Dump the guilt! God knows I spent years during my weight loss/maintenance feeling guilty for eating food that soothed my soul. I'm so over that.
I did a little search-a-roo on the Internet and found a few recipes for dolmades that I will attempt to perfect before my surgery in December so I can make them (with my one good arm and an assistant) when I need comfort food during rehab. I'm going to try a vegetarian version of this recipe from Food Network or this one from Living and Loving in LA or both!
How do you respond to your inner "You need comfort food NOW!" voice? And if you choose to eat a comfort food, which one or ones are your go-tos?

Don't panic, it's Barnestorming #37
On the Table
Another of last year's games this week reviewed- Panic Station, designed by David Ausloos (Shapeshifter here on F:AT) and published by Stronghold Games who look to be ruling 2012 with an ambitious release schedule and some very, very strong-looking titles.
Panic Station is interesting- it's just about as volatile, fragile, and inconsistent a game as I've ever played. It has so many fracture points that it's been something of a minor miracle when our games have gone smoothly and without someone completely disconnecting from either the rules or the metagame. When it's working, I actually think it's brilliant and it could be an even better "paranoid co-op" than BSG. When it doesn't work, it's a total drag of gamey mechanics, weird rules, and cloying uncertainty.
The thing about is, as somebody that has written a whole, whole lot about games over the past seven or eight years, I find it really kind of thrilling that it's not the kind of game where you check off a "yes" or "no" box in response to the question "is this game good/worth buying/worth playing". I like that it's so divisive, and I like that it's really quite demanding of the players to make it work correctly. The first time we played it at the Hellfire Club, we played other games afterword but about every five minutes someone would pipe up with "You know what that game really needs?" or "I think you could probably do this with that mechanic". It's a conversation starter…but it's also a game where you might have a session that completely bombs due to the wonky rules or player disengagement. It really is pretty dumb that troopers can't fire guns. And that Androids can be infected with parasites all the way across the board.
On the Consoles
Kingdoms of Amalur looks like a hit based on the hour long demo. Looks great, plays great, and feels pretty unique. It remains to be seen if the interesting mix of single-player MMOPRG, brawler, action RPG, and Dragon Age-like dialogue emerges as a game-changer for the genre or just a mess. I Loved the time I had with it and I can't wait to play more. Maybe if we all buy it, Curt Schilling (part of the production team) will get Upfront 2000 published. As an XBLA game.
My Choplifter HD review went up. Wait for a sale.
On IOS
Ascension, Ascension, Ascension. Then some Ascension. After that, a game of Ascension. 26 simultaneous games. Goddamighty.
I have been squeezing in some Kingdom Rush, which I think is probably the best tower defense game yet. It's really freaking hard and there's some very cool depth in terms of permanent ability increases bought with stars and towers that have branching upgrade paths. There's also cool touches like being able to set a flag to reposition soldiers and an instant "farmer uprising" button to put a speedbump in front of the creeps. It's got a Castle Crashers-style look that's fun and not cutesy IOS irritating, and there's plenty of levels and challenges. It's iPad only.
Caylus. I'm not sure. Implementation is decent. It seems just as dull in 15 minute, full game sessions as it does in three hour tabletop ones. The mechanics are interesting, it's just so, so very soulless and it is so processional that it almost feels like a parody of that descriptor. It is kind of funny that the workers are represented by fatbellied, beareded men- the stereotypical Caylus enthusiast.
On the Screen
River has been watching The Incredibles over and over again lately. I've seen it more in the past week than I have in my entire life.
The good news is that it's a great picture, easily Pixar's most sophisticated, satirical, and passionate. The writing is so freaking smart- sharp, witty, and sometimes witheringly astute. "Everybody's special, Dash". "Which is a way of saying that no one is". There's some really clever stuff with Mr. Incredible and his apparent "infidelity" as well. It really is kind of like Watchmen for kids in some ways- very postmodern and revisionist yet reverential of its subject.
The theme of accepting mediocrity and denying excellence is pretty hardline stuff for a kid flick, as is the general message that the typical, middle-class American lifestyle is a soul-crushing morass that stifles the exceptional.
I hope to god they never make a sequel.
On Spotify
In the early 1990s, when I was all up into goth and death rock, I was also really getting into Spaghetti Westerns. So when I saw a picture of Fields of the Nephilim all decked out in beat-up dusters, spurs, and other very baroque Western bounty hunter gear, I had to hear them. Of course, this was before the magic of Spotify or even Amazon.com so their records were hard to come by. I remember finding a copy of "Dawnrazor" at a record show and it was $50, and I bought it on the spot.
I haven't really listened to Fields of the Nephilim in a while and I'm not really sure why I got in the mood to hear their really quite weird mix of Sisters of Mercy-ish goth rock, Pink Floyd, and Ennio Morricone. But revisiting the catalog and in particular the "Revelations" compilation, I sure did miss these guys.
The Western thing is just awesome, but it's really only front-and-center on the record "Dawnrazor" which opens with a cover of "Man with a Harmonica" from Once Upon a Time in the West. The remainder of the album could almost pass for a death rock ZZ Top in spots. You've got to hear "Preacher Man" if you haven't before. Better yet, watch the awesome postapocalyptic video, directed by grade A weirdo Richard Stanley (Dust Devil, Hardware). Not on the album but a must-hear- "Psychonaut", which starts off sounding like a Joy Division clone but turns into something much greater.
The 1988 Nephilim album is bigger, more occult, and even more Pink Floydian. It's more sophisticated, I suppose, but I definitely prefer the dusty, spurs-clacking goth rock sound of the previous one. There's a couple of live things and a third record that I've never really gotten into, but now I just might thanks again to Spotify.
Whatever you do, avoid anything any of these guys did after Fields of the Nephilim. Carl McCoy resurrected the band in the late 1990s as The Nephilim and did this really lousy death metal record. The other guys did some pretty boring UK death rock in Rubicon.

Reality Check: Obama ad attacks Romney on college aid
Obama to speak at UW-Madison Thursday
MADISON, Wis. — In the week he'll speak to college students and others on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, President Barack Obama is using a TV ad to attack Mitt Romney's plans for college aid.
"Mitt Romney on how to pay for college and start a business," the announcer says in the ad, which is followed by a quote from Romney.
"Take the risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents," Romney says in the ad.
WISC-TV found this needs clarification. Romney made these comments in a speech at Otterbein University. He was speaking of what he felt was the president penalizing those who had done well by raising tax rates on higher tax brackets and making it not possible for entrepreneurs to find money to realize their dreams. He wasn't directly talking about college costs.
"Hope they can afford it," the announcer in the ad continues. "Romney's plans could cut college aid for nearly 10 million students and eliminate the tax deduction for college tuition."
WISC-TV found this also needs clarification. Obama is referring to the budget plan authored by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP vice presidential nominee, which passed the U.S. House and which Romney supported, and how need-based Pell grants would be funded under that plan.
In the budget, Ryan specified more than $2 trillion in spending cuts to the budget. Obama's statement assumes that those spending cuts are made evenly across the board and would reduce Pell grants by about a $1,000 for 9.6 million students.
But the Ryan budget doesn't say exactly how much Pell grants would be cut. Instead, a report that went along with the budget makes recommendations for changes. They include an income cap for eligible students, eliminating eligibility for less than half-time students and a maximum award of just more than $5,500. White House experts assume budget cuts would be made to Pell grants, but based on the budget documents actually passed, it can't be determined how much Pell grants would be cut.
On the tax deduction issue, that claim is true. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found Romney would eliminate the expanded deduction for college tuition that was enacted in the 2009 stimulus plan.
"President Obama eliminated bank middlemen from college loans and used the savings to double college grants," the announcer says in the ad.
WISC-TV found this is true. In March 2010, the president signed a bill that allowed students to borrow money directly from the government, cutting subsidies to private banks who provided the loans. The bill then expanded Pell grants over the next decade.
According to the Department of Education, the amount of money spent on Pell grants has doubled, the recipients of them hasn't quite. In 2008, 6.1 million students were recipients, and now 9.7 million students are projected to get them in 2013.

Dear Gossips,
Yesterday was JK Rowling's birthday. Yesterday I lost a few hours on Pottermore because it's been recently updated and because she finally shared with us Remus Lupin's full biography. For those of us who are crazy about Harry Potter, this is sort of, kind of like recreating that feeling when a new book came out. There's a comfortable familiarity. Your friends are back, and you're learning something new about them. And through it all, there's Jo's unmistakable compassion and humanity.

Muzaffarnagar riot death toll reaches 31, PM assures Akhilesh of support
As security forces mounted an intensive drive to restore normalcy in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar, Shamli and Baghpat districts of west Uttar Pradesh, two more persons were killed on Monday, taking the death toll in the past three days of communal carnage to 31.india Updated: Sep 10, 2013 09:12 IST
As security forces mounted an intensive drive to restore normalcy in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar, Shamli and Baghpat districts of west Uttar Pradesh, two more persons were killed on Monday, taking the death toll in the past three days of communal carnage to 31.
With political parties accusing each other of engineering the fresh round of communal riots for gains in next year's general elections, the under-fire Akhilesh Yadav-led government barred union minister Ajit Singh and several BJP MPs including Ravi Shankar Prasad from visiting the troubled district.
It also booked BJP legislative party leader Hukum Singh, MLAs Suresh Rana, Bhartendu, Sangeet Som and former Congress MP Harendra Malik for violating prohibitory orders.
In Delhi, home minister Sushilkumar Shinde said the Centre had alerted 11 states about possible communal incidents. "I don't think he (Akhilesh Yadav) ignored these warnings," Shinde said.
Concerned over the killings, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke to Akhilesh Yadav, assuring him of all help from the Centre to deal with the situation.
The government also cancelled firearms licenses in the worst-hit areas of Muzaffarngar district, as rioters had freely used the weapons during the clashes. As many as 15,569 people carry licensed weapons in the district.
"We are also cancelling arms licenses in Phugana, Shahpur, Dhaurakalan as they were misused during the violence," said additional director general of police (law and order), Arun Kumar.
While the army conducted a flag-march for the second consecutive day on Monday, violence spread to neighbouring district of Shamli where a 40-year-old Imam of a mosque, Maulana Umar Din, was shot dead, Shamli district magistrate PK Singh said. Principal secretary home RM Srivastava said the death toll has reached 31. Major communal violence incidents in UP this year
Muzaffarnagar district magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma said one person was stabbed to death in Meerapur town of the district today.
"One person was stabbed to death and one other injured when some miscreants attacked them," Sharma said, adding that at least six people have been taken into police custody for interrogation in this connection.
BJP leader Kalraj Mishra, however, said SP was playing "vote-bank" politics over the clashes.
The 12-hourly situation reports would help the central government to assess the prevailing situation, he said, adding steps could be taken accordingly.
Uttar Pradesh governor BL Joshi has sent a report on the Muzaffarnagar violence to the Centre, which, sources said, has details regarding the administrative lapses as well as the situation prevailing there.
A journalist for the local IBN7 television network and a police photographer were among those killed in the violence on Saturday, the most serious in recent years.
Politically pivotal Uttar Pradesh witnessed deadly riots in 1992 following the razing of a mosque by a Hindu mob. More than 2,000 people -- mostly Muslims -- were killed after the 16th-century mosque in Ayodhya was demolished in some of India's worst communal clashes.
The latest violence has triggered speculation that political parties are seeking to polarise the state along religious lines ahead of general elections due next year.
The state's secular ruling Samajwadi Party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of fuelling tensions with inflammatory speeches.
A video posted online appearing to show two men being lynched by a mob seems to have aggravated tensions although police said it was faked.
The clashes erupted late Saturday after thousands of farmers from a particular community held a meeting to demand justice over the killing of three men of another community who had protested when a woman was allegedly harassed.
Provocative speeches were allegedly made during Saturday's meeting. The farmers were attacked as they were returning home from the meeting, triggering an angry backlash, media reported. Clashes then broke out in neighbouring villages and the army stepped in to try to control the situation.
Meanwhile, alleging that communal clashes in Muzaffarnagar and neighbouring areas was a political conspiracy, chief minister Akhilesh Yadav said, "It is a conspiracy to defame and destabilise my government which is doing a good job for the poor, the youths and all sections of the society," he told reporters here.
"Political parties are trying to find ways to attack the government and this they have done in the past also. Earlier, in Shamli they have tried to vitiate the atmosphere of the state but it was thwarted," Akhilesh said.
In Lucknow, state home secretary Kamal Saxena said, "People in a minority in villages were being shifted to safer places". He said the Centre was constantly in touch with the state government and had provided 78 companies (2,400 troopers) of paramilitary forces apart from 10 columns (800 soldiers) of the army. These forces have been deployed in the three affected districts.

Which Software Development Life Cycle Is Best?
Models like Agile, Extreme Programming, Scrum or Waterfall are used by project managers, business analysts, software developers or quality assurance analysts to describe how a project is managed or a software product is built.
The software development life cycle determines how risks are managed, business requirements documented, resources estimated and allocated, stakeholder expectations or customer feedback is managed and when software / quality assurance testing is performed.
Each software development model recommends a set of guidelines or best practices for developing software.

Canucks demote rookie centre Jordan Schroeder to minors, recall Andrew Ebbett
Notebook: 'They want to get me going, get me playing more and get my confidence back'
Jordan Schroeder takes part in the Canucks SuperSkills competition.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — As the Vancouver Canucks headed off to practice here Monday, Jordan Schroeder remained behind in the stately St. Paul Hotel, waiting for an afternoon flight to Chicago and the minor leagues.
The unproductive Schroeder — no points in eight games, no goals in 13 — was a victim of the Canucks' slump. He couldn't generate any offence for a team desperately seeking it. After 22 games, his stint in the NHL was over. For now. Veteran Andrew Ebbett has been summoned to take Schroeder's spot.
"They want to get me going, get me playing more and get my confidence back," said a disappointed Schroeder after bidding farewell to teammate Chris Tanev in the hotel lobby.
Schroeder, the Canucks' first pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft, is still on an entry-level contract and does not require waivers to go down. The 22-year-old collected just five points despite receiving some quality power-play minutes.
In his final game Sunday, a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Schroeder had no shots, was minus-1 and lost four of six draws in 12:53 of ice time. Ebbett, a left-handed centre, has 32 points in 37 AHL games this season. He's also played five games for the Canucks and has not recorded a point.
"We believe that Jordan has a tremendous amount of upside and, at some point here, he's going to be able to contribute and help us out," said Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault, explaining the Schroeder demotion. "But at this time we felt he had sort of hit a wall a little bit. In the last little while here, it's been a little bit challenging for him.
"He is supposed to be an offensive player, 5-on-5 and on the power play, and we thought we'd help him out by putting him on the power play, where we needed a right-handed shot, to see if we could boost his confidence. Obviously that didn't get the result we anticipated so we just felt that, for now, the best thing would be to go to Chicago to get his game back on track."
Ebbett, meanwhile, will receive another opportunity. He began the lockout-shortened season with the big club before being waived and assigned to the Wolves on Feb. 19. According to Vigneault, Wolves coach Scott Arniel considered Ebbett his best centre lately.
"Obviously we're a little thin and maybe challenged at that position right now," understated Vigneault. "Andrew is an experienced centreman so we are bringing him back. We know what he can do both offensively and defensively and we'll see if he can help us win some games, which is the purpose of all this."
GROIN PAINS: Defenceman Kevin Bieksa (groin) made it through the full practice Monday but would not declare himself fit for game action. In fact, he became a little testy when asked if Tuesday's game in Columbus was even a possibility.
"No timeline," said Bieksa, who has missed six games, all losses. "When I'm ready to play, I'll tell you and I won't keep it a secret. Then we can talk all you want. But until then, I'm not going to be forecasting 'oh, maybe this game, maybe that game.' It doesn't work that way."
Bieksa, of course, aggravated the groin when he played in the March 2 game against Los Angeles, Vancouver's last victory. He doesn't want to push it this time and then suffer yet another setback.
"It's tough when you can't help the guys and you're sitting on the sidelines," he said. "Obviously I'd like to get back as soon as I can. It's a fine line between being smart with the injury and just wanting to get back out there. I felt good today but I have to see how I feel tomorrow."
HANDS UP: Young Canucks blue-liner Chris Tanev admitted Monday he may have been fortunate not to have suffered a serious injury when he took a Clayton Stoner slapper in his right hand Sunday night. Tanev raced to the dressing room clutching the hand but immediate X-rays showed no fracture and he returned to the game.
"I feel a bit lucky," he said. "It was a pretty hard shot and it got me in the pinky and side of the hand. It was fairly painful at the time but it died after a bit. It's only a bruise so no problem. I'm glad to be okay."
QUOTABLE: "We've had some losing streaks before. Losing is not a bad thing either. It makes you stronger as a team. You have to learn how to deal with the disappointment." — Veteran Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis puts his spin on the team's woes.
POLL: Are the Canucks exactly where you thought they would be at this, the midway point of the NHL season?

TODAY'S GAME: This afternoon, the Buffalo Bisons face the Pawtucket Red Sox in the third game of a four-game series at Coca-Cola Field (1:05 p.m.). The Herd has taken the first two games of the series, 2-1 and 3-0. The Bisons have now won four of their last five games. After tomorrow's series finale, Buffalo heads to Ohio for an eight-game trip to Toledo and Columbus.
vs. THE RED SOX: The Bisons have split the first 12 games of their season series with the Red Sox. The Herd has won the last four games against the PawSox, having only allowed two total runs in the recent wins. Buffalo swept a two-game set in Pawtucket, July 9-10 (3-1, 1-0) and leads 2-0 in this four-game series (2-1, 3-0). Last night, the Bisons notched their 100th win against Pawtucket since rejoining the International League in 1998 (100-88)
ON BROADWAY: RHP Lance Broadway was victorious his last time out. The veteran allowed just three runs in seven innings in a 6-3 victory in Indianapolis on Saturday. The last time he pitched at home, Broadway delivered one of the season's top pitching performances. The righty pitched a nine-inning complete-game on July 8 against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, allowing just one 9th-inning run on seven hits. Broadway is 2-1 with a 3.27ERA in his last 3 starts.
NOTHING TRIVIAL: LHP Adam Pettyjohn had a great Herd debut last night, collecting the victory with three shutout innings of relief. Nothing new for the southpaw as he led the International League in wins a season ago. Pettyjohn went 15-6 in 28 starts for IL West Division Champion Louisville -a win total that tied a Bats' franchise record.
THE HITS KEEP COMING: OF Jesus Feliciano enters today's game on a six-game hit streak, averaging .360 (9-25) since July 24. The outfielder has been great this month, with a .333 (33-99) average in 25 games. He is now 5th in the league in batting (.312) and 4th in the IL in total hits (108).
LIGHTS OUT: RHP Adam Bostick had dominating stuff last night, striking out four batters in two shutout innings of relief. It was the first professional save of Bostick's nine-year career. He has struck out nine batters in his last two outings (5.0IP) and 23 batters in his 22.0 innings pitched this year.

So, I quite enjoy the various "Satyrs" races in Ponyfinder, both the Pony/Human and the Purrsian/Human, but when it comes to mechanics, I'm more of a fan of 5e than of Pathfinder. So, seeing as this is the houserules forum, I thought I'd see if I could get some critique and suggestions for better translating them. I've got both the "basic" 5e Ponyfinder translation that was released on DriveThruRPG and the relevant sourcebooks open as I write this, but I'm something of a newcomer to this matter, so I'll deeply appreciate any suggestions and advice that can be offered on this matter.
Speaking of Pony Satyrs, though... why the hell were they not included in Tribes of Everglow? Seriously! Every single relevant tribal entry that has unique pony satyrs mentions it, but there's not a single satyr statline to be found in the book. Do you have any idea how confusing that makes it? There are some... "traditions" of 3e and Pathfinder that Ponyfinder could stand to abandon, and the spreading of rules that should be concentrated together over multiple rulebooks without any indication where they are is one of them.
Also, is the Purrsian-Human Satyr supposed to suffer -2 Wisdom like the Purrsian-Pony Satyr? Forgotten Past is unclear.
Anyway, on to the rules. I don't know if it's allowed or not to post the "original rules" for comparison as I write this, so I've left them out, to be on the safe side.
Before anyone points it out, yes, I know that there's a Zebra Satyr option in the Tribes of Everglow sourcebook. But since all it does is sacrifice the Blend of Views trait to gain Cunning Linguist, which is a pretty useless if not non-existent trait in 5e, I'm completely stumped about incorporating it. Discussions on using it will be appreciated.
I'm also interested in converting hippogriffs and "ponycats" (purrsian/pony satyrs) at some point, but first things first.. hell, the griffons need a 5e writeup before hippogriffs can come along.
5e 1st Draft: Satyrs
Size: Medium
Speed: 30 feet
Lowlight Vision
Blend of Views: A Satyr has Advantage on Charisma (Diplomacy) and Charisma (Bluff) checks.
Child of Two Worlds: Satyrs come in many forms, all based on the union of human and beastkinder. Choose the Earthern, Winged, Horned, Aquatic, Ghost Pony, Short-Legs, Ruminant or Purrsian sub-race. Your sub-race determines your ability score modifier and additional racial traits.
Earthern Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Constitution, +1 Strength
Earthen Vitality: You increase your maximum hit points by +1. You further increase your maximum hit points by +1 each time that you gain a character level. You also have Advantage on saving throws vs. Poison and Resistance to Poison.
Winged Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Dexterity, +1 Constitution
Flight: You have a Fly speed of 30 feet, although you cannot use this ability if you are wearing Medium Armor or Heavy Armor.
Horned Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Intelligence, +1 Wisdom
Unicorn Magic: You have the Distant Focus racial trait, as per a Unicorn. If your Intelligence score is at least 11, you also know 1 Cantrip of your choice from the Wizard or Sorcerer spell lists. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability score for this Cantrip.
Aquatic Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Constitution, +1 Charisma
Born to the Wave: You have a Swim speed of 30 feet and Advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks made for swimming.
Amphibious: You can breathe air and water with equal ease.
Ghost Pony Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Dexterity, +1 Wisdom
Ethereal Strike: Any weapon or unarmed strikes that you make are treated as magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistance of creatures with the Incorporeal Movement trait.
Short-Leg Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Charisma, +1 Constitution
Chibi: Your Size category is Small rather than Medium.
Unearthly Cuteness: You know the Friends cantrip and can use it at will. At third level, you learn the Charm Person spell and can use it with this trait once per long rest. At fifth level, you learn the Enthrall spell and can use it with this trait once per long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability in all cases. You are treated as a spellcaster with level equal to your class level for determining spell slots that you may use to enhance Charm Person and Enthrall.
Ruminant Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Intelligence, +1 Dexterity
Antlered: Your unarmed strikes do 1d6 damage.
Swift-Running: Your movement speed is 40 feet instead of 30 feet.
Mystical Blood: You know one Cantrip of your choice from the Wizard or Sorcerer spell-list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability score for this Cantrip.
Purrsian Sub-Race:
Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Charisma, +1 Dexterity
Flight: You have a Fly speed of 30 feet, although you cannot use this ability if you are wearing Medium Armor or Heavy Armor.
5e Conversion: Satyrs

Re: 5e Conversion: Satyrs
You are kind to the winged sub-racem but then 5e balancing works out different, so I think it's alright.

Re: 5e Conversion: Satyrs
Yeah, the only comparable race in 5e so far is the Aaracockra, which gets claws that do d6 damage for its unarmed strikes and the ability to fly 50 feet per round in exchange for not being able to fly in anything heavier than light armor. Combined with the fact that both Horned and Purrsian Satyrs in Ponyfinder are pretty much "vanilla satyrs with Gliding Wings and Fly", respectively, I didn't have much to go by.

so im working on a final project for my intro to java-oop class. We recently made the jump to OOP and its a bit confusing. This program needs to have 1 main class and 3 regular classes. its supposed to be a movie production program. It needs to have a initial investment as well as a cast and there budget then a box office return followed by the planning of a sequel with the budget for the sequel based on the box office return. Theres a little more to it but thats the idea. there should be two options for the cast which is actor, actress,director. I built a program and took it to class and basically though i was building some objects it was very much a structured program. So I started over and this is what I have right now
Main class:
public class MovieProducer { public static void main(String args[]){ Cast actor1 = new Cast ("Actor", "Tom Wise", 2000000); Cast actress1 = new Cast ("Actress", "Lana Elles", 1000000); Cast director1 = new Cast ("Director", "Mike Powers", 1500000); double initInv= 5000000;// initial investment double boxReturn= 4000000; double actorCost = actor1.getCost(); double actressCost = actress1.getCost(); double directorCost = director1.getCost(); Account movie1 = new Account(initInv, boxReturn, actorCost, actressCost, directorCost); System.out.println( "First Movie"); System.out.println( ""); System.out.println( "The role of: "+ actor1.printString()); System.out.println( "The role of: "+ actress1.printString()); System.out.println( "The role of: "+ director1.printString()); System.out.println( ""); System.out.println( "The Total cost of the crew is: "+ movie1.AddCosts()); System.out.println( "The Initial Investment is: "+ movie1.getInvestment()); System.out.println( "The Box office return is: "+ movie1.getBoxReturn()); System.out.println( "The Gain or Loss on this movie is: "+ movie1.Add()); System.out.println( "Your next Movie budget will be: "+ movie1.NextBudget()); // Second movie object: Cast actor2 = new Cast ("Actor", "Les Clay", 1000000); Cast actress2 = new Cast ("Actress", "Amber May", 1000000); Cast director2 = new Cast ("Director", "Bill Wes", 2000000); double inv2 = movie1.NextBudget();// second investment double boxReturn2= 4750000; double actorCost2 = actor2.getCost(); double actressCost2 = actress2.getCost(); double directorCost2 = director2.getCost(); Account movie2 = new Account(inv2, boxReturn2, actorCost2, actressCost2, directorCost2); System.out.println( ""); System.out.println( "Second Movie"); System.out.println( ""); System.out.println( "The role of: "+ actor2.printString()); System.out.println( "The role of: "+ actress2.printString()); System.out.println( "The role of: "+ director2.printString()); System.out.println( ""); System.out.println( "The Initial Investment is: "+ movie2.getInvestment()); System.out.println( "The Total cost of the crew is: "+ movie2.AddCosts()); System.out.println( "The Box office return is: "+ movie2.getBoxReturn()); System.out.println( "The Gain or Loss on this movie is: "+ movie2.Add()); System.out.println( "Your next Movie budget will be: "+ movie2.NextBudget()); //Movie nextMovie= new Movie(actor1.getName(),actor2.getName(),actress2.getName(),director2.getName(),actor1.getCost(),actor2.getCost(),actress1.getCost(), director1.getCost(),movie1.getInvestment()); }}
Cast class:
Account class:public class Cast { String role; String name; double cost; // constructor Cast(String role, String name, double cost) { this.role= role ; this.name= name; this.cost = cost; } // Get role public String getRole(){ return role; } // Set Role. public void setRole(String tempRole){ role = tempRole; } //Get name public String getName(){ return name; } // Set name. public void setName(String tempName){ name = tempName; } //Get cost public double getCost(){ return cost; } // Set cost. public void setCost(double tempCost){ cost = tempCost; } String printString(){// return ((role) + " will be cast with: " + (name)+" at a price of: $"+(cost));} }
public class Account { double invest; double bOReturn; double actorCost; double actressCost; double directorCost; double nextBudget=0; // constructor Account(double invest, double bOReturn, double actorCost, double actressCost, double directorCost) { this.invest= invest ; this.bOReturn= bOReturn; this.actorCost= actorCost; this.actressCost= actressCost; this.directorCost = directorCost; } // Get role public double getInvestment(){ return invest; } // Set Role. public void setInvestment(double tempInvest){ invest= tempInvest; } //Get role public double getBoxReturn(){ return bOReturn; } //Set Role. public void setBoxReturn(double tempBox){ bOReturn= tempBox; } double AddCosts(){ double remainBud= (actorCost+ actressCost + directorCost); return remainBud; } double Add(){ double gainOrLoss = (bOReturn)- (invest); return gainOrLoss; } double NextBudget(){ if (bOReturn < invest){ nextBudget=bOReturn;} else if(bOReturn > invest){ nextBudget=bOReturn;} else { nextBudget=invest;} return nextBudget;} /*double decideActor(){ double actorFinal=0; if( nextBud < (actorCost+ actressCost + directorCost) ){*/ }
Im not sure if im following oop design like im supposed to, and I dont want to go any further until i know if im doing it correctly, plus Im stuck on the next part so I wanted to get this correct. Any help or suggestion would greatly be apreciated
